Behavioral Relaxation Training (BRT)
Behavioral Relaxation Training: Clinical Applications with Diverse Populations
"Behavioral Relaxation Training: Clinical Applications with Diverse Populations, Third Edition is a welcome update to a valuable clinical resource. It provides a rigorous behavioral conceptual and data-based methodological framework in a highly user-friendly manner, readily lending itself to practical application of the effective procedures to socially relevant behaviors. This latest edition expands the client populations and behavior challenges that are addressed, accompanied with supportive data.
The authors candidly note the varying strength of the supporting data for various specific applications of BRT and set the occasion for continuing research with the procedures. A really nice touch is the provision for each chapter of items from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board Task List (5th edition) that correspond to the concepts and procedures addressed in it. Further, linking the rationale and procedures for BRT to basic behavioral research as well as to work done in non-behavior analytic framework adds to this book’s value. As a person who has been using BRT in my clinical work for years, I welcome this expanded presentation of work in the area."
